CMS Help Needed [solved]

I upgraded my site from 1.05 to 1.9.4.1. It was somewhat successful, but certain things are not working properly. I think I need a few hours of somebody's time that knows CMSMS well.
The site is
http://www.xroadsllc.com.
List of my issues are:
1. WYSIWYG not working on pages
2. Global Content Blocks not updating
3. News cannot change past 2010
Thanks

wysiwyg not working, is probably
a) selecting TinyMCE in UserPreferences, if it then isnt showing... then try Uninstalling followed by installing of TinyMCE.
b) Check if retransferring the files to the server fixes it, and make sure that all are overwritten.... (see 'c' as well)
c) Seems like you dont have all the files transferred/overwritten, as in the code, there is now (since 1.5 or so) logic in that makes the enddate todays-year+15.... So if you dont see 2025 in the dropdown, then the files arent correctly transferred.

1. I was able to fix the WYSIWYG issue.
Still have the same issues after recopying the files. Is there a certain file I should look at to ensure that my copy went okay. I am seeing a 3/5/11 12:40 pm date stamp on almost all the files.
Is there a way I can setup a new site with fresh cms files and then load only the files I need to make my pages look okay instead of loading something that may have some legacy junk.

Check the file...
modules\News\templates\editarticle.tpl
and check if line 38 is identical to:
<p class="pageinput">{html_select_date prefix=$postdateprefix time=$postdate start_year="-10" end_year="+15"} {html_select_time prefix=$postdateprefix time=$postdate}</p>

I deleted all the directories in the site directory and then copied the ones from the CMS1.9.4.1. I restored folders individually to ensure that I did not get any legacy stuff and that fixed this issue.

Great to hear. Just like with some other CMSs, it's often advisable to upload FRESH files rather than risk trusting the server to over-write existing files. With WordPress this is easy, since you just delete two directories and all the files in the root EXCEPT .htaccess, robots.txt and wp-config.php.
There should be a similar procedure with regard to CMSMS. I would back up my /modules directory, however. I think you can leave your /uploads directory alone since I don't believe CMSMS loads anything to that directory. But someone may be along shortly to correct that statement.
Glad you solved it!
